From what I can tell, they simply made an observation. You're the one applying a value judgment to their statements. Pointing out that different tribes use rhetoric to "other" outs…

They actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.

As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/

Recently, I’ve realized I’m not as good at asking questions as I’d like to be. By that, I mean asking questions to better understand something, think critically, extend a conversat…

Burn Math Class follows that tradition, although it starts pretty basic, so it requires some patience. https://a.co/d/fZnWUU8

I've had a MathAcademy subscription for some time and it's quite good. I'd say it's best at generating problems and using spaced repetition to reinforce learning, but I think it fa…

I highly doubt your claim. There is no mechanism to send money internationally (at least in Canada) that is both near-instant and free or near-free.

Right, I use SOL, not Bitcoin. Transactions are pretty much instant and cost a couple cents.

If you know a way to pay someone across the world in seconds for cents in transaction fees, I’m open for alternatives.

I'm learning C++, and I find that I learn best when concepts are introduced in the context of a larger project. However, it seems most resources are giant references with a few cod…

That's actually quite worrisome. I don't really think twice about downloading the top result for things like PayPal or local banking apps if I get a new phone, for example.

Takes like these are so moronic it hurts. I just paid an artist across the globe for some icons; the transaction took seconds to resolve and cost me cents to send via SOL. The clos…

Never thought about it like that. Thanks for sharing that perspective.

I'm happy the spam and investment FOMO has died down, but crypto has been insanely useful for making payments for me. It's hard to beat nearly instantaneous international payments …

I wouldn't say it's a Ponzi scheme, but I tend to agree that they aren't much different because the price of the stock or crypto only goes up by the demand for said security. The o…

Two things I enjoy about crypto: 1) I can send large payments effortlessly. I tried to move large sums using eTransfers last year and the friction is just unreal. I don't give a sh…

I've worked in tech in Vancouver for a decade. I wouldn't recommend it if the US is an option for you or if it's not remote work. The salaries are still quite far behind the US and…

There's a new version of that book. Same author: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-7437-8

You can get Z690 DDR4 boards. That's what I had to resort to so we could test our software on the i5-12600k. Getting a CPU cooler with an LGA 1700 compatible bracket was actually t…

Yep. My first developer position was at an audio software company that made a plugin used by EDM artists. The year our software was cracked (2009ish), our sales dropped by 65%. Sup…

I'm fairly certain he has considered it. I don't think it's possible to have a debate on free speech where that's not addressed. I touched on it in one of my other replies below: "…
